Correction for The Halloween Edition!
Seems we made a mistake! In our latest Halloween Edition, we had a misprint and left out what was mean to be the grand finale of our Special Edition. We wanted to make sure readers got to enjoy this piece, so we’re printing it again here. If you feel like diving into our last Special Edition before our Holiday Edition drops, find it below!
Perfect Costume
Everyone’s impressed. You win first prize in the costume contest and the candy pours into your plastic pumpkin at every door.
“Must take hours to apply,” they say. One idiot tugs the hair on your cheeks and you wince, have to resist urge to snarl or snap.
You look at their fancy costumes and smile secretly to yourself at the money you’ve saved.
Your costume didn’t cost you a penny, just a curse. Inconvenient, yes, sometimes, but, when the moon is full, your girlfriend can take you walkies in the woods. Saves a fortune in dogfood.
Besides, you prefer candy.
